|
||
<p>Futures are supposed to be lazy, and only starting work if <code>Future::poll</code>
|
||
is called. The same is true of <code>Stream</code>s, but when using a channel as
|
||
a <code>Stream</code>, it can be hard to know if the receiver is ready for the next
|
||
value.</p>
|
||
<p>Put another way, given a <code>(tx, rx)</code> from <code>futures::sync::mpsc::channel()</code>,
|
||
how can the sender (<code>tx</code>) know when the receiver (<code>rx</code>) actually wants more
|
||
work to be produced? Just because there is room in the channel buffer
|
||
doesn’t mean the work would be used by the receiver.</p>
|
||
<p>This is where something like <code>want</code> comes in. Added to a channel, you can
|
||
make sure that the <code>tx</code> only creates the message and sends it when the <code>rx</code>
|
||
has <code>poll()</code> for it, and the buffer was empty.</p>
